Gakpo Starts | 4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup against Brentford

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Brentford: Slot faces final-day selection test

Liverpool close out their Premier League season on Sunday, 24 May, hosting Brentford at Anfield in a 15:00 UTC kick-off that carries more emotional significance than most final-day fixtures. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson prepare to say farewell to Merseyside, and recent defeats against Aston Villa and Manchester United have piled unneeded pressure on Arne Slot heading into this assignment.

Liverpool sit fifth with 59 points, while Brentford occupy ninth with 52, still mathematically alive in the race for European qualification. That contrast in stakes gives this match a fascinating undercurrent, even as the home crowd braces for an emotional afternoon.

Liverpool predicted lineup: Mamardashvili starts between the sticks

With Alisson Becker sidelined through injury, Giorgi Mamardashvili will almost certainly start in goal. Joseph Gomez should partner Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk in a back line completed by Milos Kerkez at left-back, after Conor Bradley’s absence through injury removes the main competition for the right-back berth.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will likely anchor the midfield double pivot, with Curtis Jones pushing forward into the number ten zone alongside Dominik Szoboszlai. Rio Ngumoha, the 17-year-old whose estimated transfer value already sits between €23.6 million and €28.8 million despite arriving at Liverpool for an initial £2.8 million tribunal fee, could start on the left wing and add real dynamism on the flank. Cody Gakpo should lead the line as the central striker in a 4-2-3-1 shape.

Liverpool predicted lineup verdict: Gakpo leads a patched but purposeful attack

Slot faces a difficult balancing act given his extensive injury list. Liverpool’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should still allow them to control territory and create chances, even with a side that lack several of its first-choice names. Ngumoha’s inclusion would reward one of the most exciting young talents in the division, and Gakpo, who has shown consistent quality throughout the campaign, carries a genuine goalscoring threat as the focal point.

Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League meetings with Brentford, and Anfield’s atmosphere on a farewell occasion should only add to the home side’s focus. Sunday represents a chance for Liverpool’s squad players to sign off on a positive note, and the Liverpool predicted lineup suggests Slot trusts this group enough to send the season out with a performance worth remembering.
